From Australia, Christina Hall (the mother of D.) writes,
1) The Australian Government was thinking about closing the state borders 1b) to slow down the spread of the pandemic.

2) D. ‘s husband, T. had left home in a hurry to visit his parents who lived in another state. He knew there was a chance that the borders might close while he was away and he wouldn’t be allowed to come home, 3) but his father wasn’t well so he took the chance.

4) D. had been busy running errands all day. As T. was away, she still had many things to do when she got home.
5) She was preoccupied and only vaguely noticed a hissing from the car engine, and hardly saw the steam from under the bonnet!

6) She worked at home all the next day, and in the evening drove to visit a friend. She had a lovely visit then started her journey back home.
7) 10 minutes from home she heard the loud hissing and saw the steam and saw the temperature gauge was as high as it could go! Panic-stricken, she stopped the car.

8) It was a very dark night and this was a country road with no street lights, no houses and very little traffic.
9) Slowly, she pulled herself together and when she took out her mobile phone, she noticed that the battery was running low.
10) She rang the roadside assistance and hoped she would have enough power left to complete the call.
11) When they asked for her location, to her horror, she realised that she didn’t know the name of the road! In spite of her renewed panic…
12) and this is where God really shows Himself… suddenly, she remembered seeing a landmark, and that was enough information for her whereabouts to be pinpointed! She waited, in the dark and in the cold, for almost an hour until help arrived.

13) The mechanic found that there was a hole in the radiator. He wanted to give her a lift home and she could make arrangements to have the car brought home the next day. But, they both knew that, because of its age, if it was left there all night, thieves could have stripped the car of everything by morning. So, it was decided that the mechanic would arrange for a tow truck to come and take D. and the car home that night.

14) While she waited, for another long hour, a few other cars passed by. As the headlights of the other cars shone on her car, she didn’t know if she should allow herself to be seen. If would-be thieves saw the car wasn’t abandoned, they would keep going, but if someone with evil intent saw her as easy prey anything could have happened. Thank God, eventually, the tow truck came and brought her and the car home that night .

15) Her friends thought it was extremely bad luck that it happened while T. was away.
16) I believe that God allowed it to happen BECAUSE T. was away. Our God is always looking for ways to introduce Himself to everyone.

17) “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong"
2 Chronicles 16:9.

18) P. S. God had another surprise up His sleeve… T. returned home from seeing his parents just before the borders were closed!
